   Areas affected...northern Florida

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 78...

   Valid 312238Z - 312345Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 78 continues.

   SUMMARY...Threat for damaging wind and a tornado or two will persist
   across northern Florida through at least 00Z.

   DISCUSSION...Broken line of storms continues moving east southeast
   through northern FL at around 35 kt. VWP data show the low-level
   winds have veered to west southwesterly, reducing hodograph size
   somewhat. However, 0-1 km storm relative helicity on the order of
   150-200 m2/s2, 50 kt 0-6 km shear, and 800-1200 J/kg MLCAPE will
   likely continue to support embedded organized structures, including
   bowing segments and a supercell or two during the next couple of
   hours.
